Summer Sew-Along

It's coming 'round again...

First Friday Summer Sew Along.

What could be more summer-y than a big, beautiful floppy sun hat?

I am DETERMINED that it WILL be sunshine-y at SOME point this summer. I'm going on a "weather strike" and I'm refusing to acknowledge the blecchy weather and I'm going to wear my flip-flops and sun hats and Jackie-O glasses anyways.

So, Friday, July 3rd we WILL be open until 8:30 for sewing lounge and those who so choose can make an Amy Butler Blue Sky Sun Hat. Everyone is responsible for their own patterns (we have them for sale at the store and you may certainly arrange to share with someone but we are unable to photocopy patterns... I've said it before and I'll say it again: we are MUCH too pretty to go to jail!) but we will all meet up anytime after 4:00 and make Sun Hats together. Perfect for watching the 4th of July parades.

Why is she called Alewives Girl?

An "Alewife" is a small fish that leaves the salt water every spring to spawn in fresh water. Alewives travel upstream in huge schools, attracting all kinds of wildlife. Our shop, Alewives Fabrics, is located directly in front of a fish ladder that was built over a hundred years ago to help the alewives make it upstream.The shop was named after these amazing fish and every year we have a front seat to watch them make their journey.
